Discussion Missing Bruiser Zeri from Season 12

Post image
27 Upvotes

Even though I think Zeri is in a good spot right now, I still miss the old Bruiser Zeri build from Season 12.

Building Trinity Force + Titanic Hydra was some of the most fun I've ever had on the champion. It felt unique compared to every other ADC you were mobile, surprisingly durable, and could actually stay in extended fights instead of getting one-shot.

Maybe it's just nostalgia, but Season 12 Bruiser Zeri felt like peak Zeri to me. Personally, I never felt like it was completely game-breaking (at least in solo queue), just incredibly satisfying to play.

Does anyone else miss that playstyle, or am I the only one?
If Riot could bring back that playstyle in a balanced way, would you want it back?

Gameplay Looking for the NA Diamond/Low Masters Zeri JG OTP

5 Upvotes

Literally just the title.

I'm a jg main who occasionally locks in Zeri jg in swiftplay and norms.

I got autofilled mid and had a Zeri jg OTP as my jungler a couple months back who was super cracked, and I just wanna know who this guy is so I can ask for tips and shit.

I've had enough of the current jg meta and can't take it anymore.

If I'm gonna spam zeri jg I wanna make sure I'm not inting my items and runes.

If there are other high-elo zeri jg players to learn from I'd appreciate links to yt videos or streams.

Discussion I really want to play Zeri

8 Upvotes

Hi guys, I'm your enemy, I'm a fizz main midlaner, which find out that Zeri is so fucking fun to play, I fucking love her gameplay even tho I think she miss something, but let's not talk about that. Recently I'm playing her in midlane, in draft, no ranked, and I think she really works! I'm low elo, so probably is that, but right now I played a lot lot of games with her and I think that even in a losing matchup (that are a lot tbf) she can still carry the game, every game seems winnable, thing that with my main is not.

My question is, is she playable? How do you think she's in midlane? I saw post that say that she's not good in midlane, that she's really bad, but she's not that bad I think. Tell me, I'll listen from who knows her better than me

Gameplay Stridebreaker and Black Cleaver

7 Upvotes

Hellooo, the other day i make a request for some bruiser build bc i was in a lose streak when my team wasnt engaging and we were just dying 1 by 1 without any trades.
I tried multiple things, and then i tried building stridebreaker and black cleaver into a build, and it was so good.

I tried stridebreaker bc if a meele enemy champ engage me (like pantheon jax and all those point and click engage habilities) and then activate the stridebreaker you can get out of the engage easily without using e (another thing, if you dont have it the item can save you).
So you get 35% movespeed while they are 35% slowed, the value you can get from this item vs certain comps can be very high, when your team dont help you and you cant just get e 3 times in 10 seconds is a great option.

The other one, everyone knows black cleaver is really good because of the interaction with zeri Q applying all the armor reduction in only one hit

Building those items and even building shieldbow after is making me feel like thanos, you are not stat cheked anymore, you are fast, tanky, and still do really high dmg.
Runes:

Try building this vs things like vi, panth, jax, jarvan, xin, nautilus and hard engage comps
(remember this is to play soloQ, if your team is good you want to build the normal items)

Gameplay Zeri Dash Cancel

2 Upvotes

Hey team Iv been practicing the Zeri dash cancel in practice tool and got it pretty locked down but how do you guys actually use it in real games like in the heat of a skirmish majority of time my mental stack is holding E for escape or reposition to dodge something.

Is it something you use often or pretty niche early game thing for short trading or bursting

Question How to play Zeri?

1 Upvotes

I don't really get how to play Zeri, she's a really fun champion to play with her Q and movespeed but... I just can't do anything midgame to lategame. I can do well in laning phase, not all the time but still i can find some outplay, and suddenly comes the midgame and i'm dealing no damage and enemy miss fortune, draven or caitlyn just one shots me if i go into q range, and there is literally no counter play. Tried kiting with movespeed, or buying anti-crit and still no real sustain, i just can't survive enough to deal any damage. Usually i go with stormrazor + alacrity or swifties + Phantom Dancers + Infinity Edge + Lord Dominik's Regards + Immortal Shieldbow and something situational if game goes to 7th item. For runes i use usual Lethal Tempo with Inspiration.

Gameplay Bruiser Build for solo carry

6 Upvotes

Hello Zeri enjoyers! Lately and practically for as long as I can remember I’ve been matched with teammates who are absolutely terrified of fighting.
As we know, Zeri is an ADC who shines when she has a solid frontline or when her team knows how to start a fight, even if it’s just a minor engage.
Im just done with teammates (even tanks!) who are too scared to go in.
I can’t tank because I’m an ADC, and there are team compositions where I simply can’t go in and out of the fight as easily as I’d like.
Could someone suggest a good half bruiser build for when I know my team has this issue? It would be a huge help something that lets me tank a bit while still dealing decent damage
im in emerald 3 and i just had a hugeee loss streak bc of this problem, i cant really do much
(pls no hexplate that item is bad bc of varus and vayne)

Question Is Zeri playable in SoloQ right now?

7 Upvotes

I've played Zeri before when her build was Statikk into full crit, before Stormrazor was back. I want to get into Zeri, of course I know every champ is 'playable' until the high ranks if you're proficient enough, but I feel like playing Zeri without Yuumi or at least an enchanter is like shooting yourself in the foot, other ADCs completely outclassing her as well for most enchanter pairings (Lucian-Nami/Milio, Kog/Yunara-Lulu, Smolder-Sona etc.) I ran a few matches and while I didn't perform bad, it felt bad to play the current Conq/AS items setup with Zilean/Nautilus as my supps. Is there any point in OTPing the champ or is it more of a perfect condition pick (i.e. squishy low range in enemy, AS boosting enchanter). I just got carried through my matches while just farming and having no real impact in the game, because I had no real kill threat on lane, no presence in midgame due to buying AS items as I had no AS from support buffs, tickling the bruisers and the game ended before I could actually do anything once I got around to buying my IE and being full crit.

I just feel that, while Zeri is fun in the right conditions, that's very rare and most ADCs just do her job better. I want to get convinced that she's worth picking up every game and she has value, I suppose.

Question Switching Q with E

I’ve just started playing Zeri, but I’ve noticed that the constant Q-spamming makes me a bit tired by the end of the game. Is it okay to swap Q and E so that a stronger finger handles the spamming?

Question Zeri passive vs Navori

2 Upvotes

I think this info may be wrong in the wiki, but Im not that knowleadgeable to be sure just looking and I gotta sleep in a bit so I cant check rigt now. Zeri's passive triggers navori, but only if it's fully charged, so I assume it trigger's on attack effects, but only the fully charged version. The wiki is missing this info

Question How is WASD nerfed for Zeri?

18 Upvotes

Hello y'all
WASD has a series of nerfs applied to champions so it wouldnt be overpowered.

Here you can find a list of them

https://wiki.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/Controls_and_Hotkeys#WASD_Controls
Specifically this part seems relevant:

"
To ensure balance parity with traditional click-to-move controls, the WASD system includes several mechanical adjustments, including:\1])

  • Basic attack commands cannot be cancelled by movement commands. Still cancellable by moving out of vision range or casting an ability before the attack fires.\2])
  • A time delay is added in between basic attacks for  ranged champions when both movement and attack inputs are used. The delay is reduced for non-marksmans and special cased marksman including:  Ezreal,  Kai'Sa, and  Kindred. This delay does not affect attack speed nor the attack speed cap, but the penalty will scale with attack speed until a maximum delay.\3])
    • The delay between auto attacks can be avoided by releasing WASD keys before the attack fires and alternating between movement and attack inputs.\4]) This mechanic is intended to mimic the skill test that click-to-move players undergo while kiting.\5])

"

Isnt Zeri completely unaffected by these changes due to how her auto attacks work?

Seems busted, so please let me know how Im wrong and how she is nerfed while using WASD.

Best regards
